Some shots of my Bees

I took a look into my hive today because I saw some extra comb being built in places I didn't want. Namely on the inter cover lid to the top of the frames. I scraped that off and stopped their misguilded efforts.

Re: Some shots of my Bees

Thanks all! I use a Canon 7D and these were all taken with my 24-70mm f2.8L. Its consider a Macro lens, but only barely. I also used a 20mm extension tube behind the lens on the single bee shots so I could get closer. I have a 50mm macro lens but I find it difficult to shoot the bees with. It's not as agile as the 24-70 or even my 85mm f1.8 with extension tubes mounted.

Lee, I bet those hairs are very feather like. That would be great to see up close. Do you have a camera mount that you can adapt to your microscope?

Re: Some shots of my Bees

What kind of cell phone do you have? Mine doesn't do photos even close to that. You have an excellent eye by the way. I would love to see more posts from you. I hope it is ok for us to save these photos as they are just too nice to pass up. Great job!
